splitting my realities in two

153 24 2
                                    

a brush of your fingertips
tracing my hairline
never seemed normal
until you were there
i couldn't stop shivering.

it wasn't wrong of me
to dream
of being pulled closer
given mercy for one night
she gave me her prayers.

the windows splitting
shattered glass on my nose
from the freefall
i never took
you gave me warmth.

the thin walls
in which i wanted to break
freedom, let it ring
and join in dissonant harmony
they took it all.

perhaps
when we leave this town
i'll remember.
